Official title
Implementing and Evaluating Computer-Based Interventions for Mental Health (CDA 14-420)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Internet-based self-help programs are personalized, self-guided interventions delivered over a computer, mobile device, or other Internet platform and focused on improving knowledge, awareness, or behavior change for a mental or physical health problem. Through previous and on-going projects at VACT, the investigators are developing a general strategy for implementing Internet-based Self-help programs in VA primary care, specifically among Patient Aligned Care Teams (PACT) and Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PCMHI) providers. An implementation strategy is defined as a systematic intervention to integrate evidence-based health innovations into usual care. The strategy the investigators propose to test consists of four core components: (1) a clinical intermediary for patient support, (2) provider/staff facilitation and education, (3) patient education, and (4) stepped-care for those requiring additional treatment. In the proposed study, the investigators will compare this strategy to a low intensity (control) strategy with respect to the implementation related outcomes of patent engagement, provider adoption through referral to the program, and patient completion, over a six-month active implementation period. The investigators will target the very common clinical problem of insomnia and use the SHUTiTM program, a 6-week self-guided program utilizing standard cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques for the treatment of chronic insomnia. The program has been shown to improve insomnia severity and other sleep related outcomes in a number of controlled trials. The clinical effectiveness of SHUTiTM will be evaluated using clinical insomnia outcomes obtained on all patients enrolled over the 6-month active implementation periods. The purpose this study is to evaluate the preliminary (1) effectiveness of an implementation strategy for Internet-based Self-help Interventions and (2) clinical outcomes of a specific Internet-based self-help program for insomnia, SHUTiTM, in VA Connecticut outpatient primary care. The primary hypothesis is that the experimental implementation strategy the investigators are developing, relative to a control strategy, will result in higher rates of program engagement by patients, greater provider adoption through referral to the program, greater program completion, and improved patient insomnia outcomes.
